Beets

If we talk about the main fertilizers, it should be noted that beet crops need different nutrients at different stages of vegetation. So, at the early stages of growth, the most important macroelement is phosphorus, on which all energy processes depend, during the active growth of the tops of the plant, they respond very well to the introduction of nitrogen beet fertilizer. However, during the period of filling beet crops, excess nitrogen is dangerous since its introduction is fraught with a decrease in the quality of the harvest and a deterioration in the quality of the products. 

During this period, potassium comes to the fore, without which the formation of correct root crops is impossible. Phosphorus at this stage will help increase the dry matter and carbohydrates content.

Root and foliar feeding

The effectiveness of macronutrient fertilizers depends on many components. These include the method of application, the timing of application, the composition of the soil, the presence of moisture in it, and weather conditions. 

Usually, the main feeding is applied in the fall under autumn plowing. Modern technologies also involve the application of liquid in a row during sowing. This method of application has an excellent effect since the nutrients immediately reach the seed zone and are presented in an easily digestible form.

Foliar feeding with micronutrients is carried out from the earliest stages of development. Foliar fertilizer for beet roots, as a rule, solves several problems: 

  • firstly, it allows you to eliminate the deficiency of micronutrients;
  • secondly, to normalize, stabilize or start important life processes.

Why should root crops be fed on the leaf? 

Because such an agricultural technique is much more effective than root feeding with microelements, in particular, foliar feeding allows:

  1. evenly distribute nutrients over the leaf surface, which is impossible with traditional application of fertilizer to the soil;
  2. combine the application of fertilizers with the treatment of plant protection products and thereby significantly save on application;
  3. carry out the situational application of preparations as needed. At the same time, preparations applied to the leaf are absorbed much faster, which means that the reaction to negative factors will be lightning-fast;
  4. add microelements to the leaf that are necessary there but are characterized by low mobility.
